Using herbs to treat and cure diseases is an old custom going back thousands of years in China. Ancient Chinese herbalists tested herbs for the safety and efficacy on themselves instead of on animals. From generation to generation, our pioneers sought for the knowledge and experiences about herbs and diseases at the risk of losing their own lives in this great enterprise for people’s health. Based on these priceless knowledge and experiences accumulated for thousands of years an experimental medical science called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) had been established.
TCM has its unique theory and technique to diagnose and cure diseases. In terms of Traditional Chinese medicine there are many balances not only between human and the natural world, but also inside our body. Problems come when the balances are broken. Chinese herbs could be used in combination to treats diseases by adjusting entirely and systematically all these different balances. In this way different diseases caused by different factors could be cured with Chinese herbs at the same time without affecting the normal function of our body.
A significant advantage in using Chinese medicine is that variety combination of herbs could be easily formed by adding or removing some ingredients in a basic recipe to suit the specific needs of individuals. Chinese medicine should not be used in form of standard industrial products manufactured in bulk to cope with all body issues. Only custom-made is the traditional and professional way to use Chinese medicine for the best efficacy by addressing the symptoms exactly.
TCM always focus on the obvious symptoms much more than on the elusive pathology. By watching and inspecting the abnormal changes of our common conditions, such as breath, pulse, energy, sleep, sweat, appetite, urine, stool, response to heat and cold, tongue and tongue coating color, etc., TCM can easily treat and cure diseases even if the causes and mechanism of diseases are still unknown. This great feature puts TCM in an advantageous position in treating and curing refractory diseases which people have not known enough about.
